Christmas hits different when your eyes have been opened to the cruelty in this world.

While I’ll be waking up with my girls on Christmas Day, many will be waking in a tent wondering where to find food.

I often reflect on the luck of the draw of the world you’re born into. One of immense privilege or one of famine and horror. It just seems so unfair.

While I get it’s not possible to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and help every cause. I do also believe there’s always space for us to do something more. Learn more. Give more. Say more.

Palestinians have often said to me they don’t won’t people to be sad around such occasions like Christmas. They want people to enjoy special moments with their families.

So I believe we can hold two truths at once. We can appreciate the safety and privilege of our own lives without taking them for granted, while also holding those who aren’t afforded the same in our hearts and choosing to give, speak up, or stand alongside them.

Block. Delete. Move on.

Let’s normalise not giving hateful people airtime.

I am always open to respectful, constructive conversation when it starts with genuine curiosity and good faith.

I have had many respectful debates, both publicly and privately, that led to real reflection and new perspectives.

But if you come here with abuse, racial undertones, misinformation, or made-up “facts”, I will not engage. I will not explain. I will not justify. You do not get my time or energy.

Protect yourself when you speak up. You do not owe anyone hours of emotional labour trying to explain what should already be common sense.

It really makes you question who the real problem is here.

My heart breaks at the recent mass shooting at Bondi’s Jewish Chanukah festival.

My heart goes out to the victims, witnesses, friends and families, first responders, health care workers, and the Jewish community.

And like many, I am in awe of the bravery shown by Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim man who heroically tackled one of the gunmen from behind, disarmed him, and suffered gunshot wounds himself in the process.

Let us stay focused on unity, love and support, and not use this tragedy as an excuse for political or racial warfare.

Shame on anyone who is already choosing to lay blame on an entire population for the extremist acts of two individuals (who police have since confirmed were a 50-year-old man and his 25-year-old son).

My heart goes out to the Jewish community for this incomprehensible act of violence.
My heart also goes out to the Muslim and Arab communities, as we know Australia’s track record when it comes to the rise in attacks against these communities following such events.

Australia, let this be a time to unite across all beliefs and skin colours, stronger than before.
Reach out. Speak up. Call it out. Show respect. Act with integrity.

Endometriosis has also been found in cis-men, pre-puberty, and even embryonic development.

This helps us to gain more clues into how it’s not caused by retrograde menstruation.

The question still remains in some circles - could it be both? I spoke to one researcher who highlighted that you can never be absolute within the research space. It’s important to consider all options.

But nevertheless, we need to broaden our scope as clinicians when understanding the disease so that you’re supporting them in a whole-body manner.

I.e. if you’re still viewing endometriosis as a menstrual condition, you’re not supporting the patient effectively.

Hope this was helpful. Open to your thoughts and questions.

It’s understandable why this one gets so confused because “endometrium” is literally in the name - endometriosis.

But just like you can have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) without having polycystic ovaries (and they’re not even technically cysts), endometriosis also needs a name change.

🔬Endometriosis research in mice models:

It’s really important to use careful discretion when citing endometriosis research based on mice models and to determine whether or not it can really be applied to the human endometriosis experience.

Nevertheless, whilst mice and rats studies are often heavily scrutinised (as they should be), they are still often an important stage in the research process as a precursor to further human research.
But it’s also important not to get ahead of ourselves in the findings.

More importantly we have to ask ourselves if this even applies to the disease in question. And in the case of endometriosis, you can’t take cells from the endometrium, implant them outside of the uterus, and then call that endometriosis, nor can you confidently say that the intervention tested would be applicable in human endometriosis.

I was once none the wiser and would cite these kinds of studies too. So I hope I can help others to learn.

Can you guess what it is?

I remember when I was in my 20s having already had a 4-year career in journalism (started a Cadetship at 17 after dropping out of year 12), moved interstate, started a Bachelor of Science, and telling myself it’s too late to change now.

Despite the fact I had a deep passion for natural health that was initiated by a job at a herb shop.

In my 20s. I know. How naive of me 🤦‍♀️

But after a life-changing volunteering trip to Cambodia I came back with a new perspective and decided I wouldn’t take it for granted how privileged I am to even have the choice.

So I took the leap and started a 4-year Health Science degree in naturopathy. Fast track to now and I’ve been practicing for 8 years with so many incredible opportunities along the way. One of the highlights being invited to be a guest speaker at the symposium this year - talking all about the power of authenticity.

But, does this impulsivity to want to change careers again ever go away? No.
Every year I fight the urge to either study medicine, a masters degree or become my new hobby (which right now is to become an artist).

And do I still tell myself it’s too late to change careers? Yeah kind of. But moreso because of the expense it would take as a single parent.

But if there’s a will there’s a way, or if it’s meant to be the right time will present itself.

What career path did you take a chance on that paid off? Or what are you telling yourself you can’t do?
